Instructions

Installation with Sleeve on
Open Tread Stairway or Balcony
1. Trim the bottom of the newel
and/or sleeve to the proper
length. If necessary, cut and
notch the newel and/or sleeve
over the edge of the tread/
riser or over the edge of the
balcony.
2. Slide the 4175SL Sleeve up
onto the bottom of the box newel and clamp it out of
the way.
3. Securely mount the newel post using the chosen
method.
4. Release the sleeve and let it slide all the way down
to the mounting surface. If the chosen hardware is
not fully concealed, trim the base of the sleeve with
shoe moulding or a moulding matched to the other
trim in the home.
5. If a portion of the newel and/or sleeve is notched
over the edge of the tread/riser or over the edge
of the balcony, secure the newel and/or sleeve by
using lag bolts installed through the face of the
newel sleeve. Screws may also be installed through
the sides into the face of the balcony. Plug and sand
the holes.
To conceal any end grain, apply a wood cap over the
bottom of the newel that protrudes past the face of
the balcony or intermediate landing.
See catalog or www.creativestairparts.com for
installation hardware options that will allow you to
install the 4075 Box Newel without the 4175SL Sleeve.
